Elon Musk, while heading the Department of Government Efficiency, aggressively targeted government programs he viewed as inefficient, celebrating tactics that pleased Republican backers. His actions included attempting to withhold federal funds meant for critical humanitarian efforts, leading to a significant backlash against him. Despite financial gains for his businesses, Musk's political stance caused substantial damage to his public image, turning him into a controversial figure. As he exits the administration, he tries to frame his experiences as a victim of his own success while also seeking to rehabilitate his reputation.

This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy, yelped Musk at CPAC, celebrating his anti-government efficiency efforts that delighted Republican politicians.
